today we did the buying day with the women, it was very cool to see the whole process go down. the women gathered in the round hut and laid out all of their goods. We had put together a bit of a game plan of what we were planning to buy and then there were four of us picking out and inspecting the jewellery (sometimes the beads are dirty and the quality isn't very good) some of the women were sick and so they sent their daughters. We placed a large order so we can all bring suitcases home filled with jewellery and bags which saves us quite a bit of money in shipping. The whole thing took 4 hrs and it got dark so we had to send the women home (its not safe for them to be out after dark) they are coming back tomorrow for yoga and vitamins so we can pay the rest of them then. I took lots of pics but i'm not able to upload them with this connection - I will post them later.
we all took bodas (motorbikes) home and came home to still no power or water. the power came on a couple hours after we got home and we all cheered - still no water :( (I guess i'll have to wait til I get back to Canada to have a shower??)
tomorrow is my last day here - planning on putting in a full day of painting and doing yoga with the women.
love to you all,
wendy
